777static777Here's the in-depth tutorial for the Blast Furnace. Relatively compact, cheap, easily extendable, and stupidly quick at smelting full chests of ore - no base is complete without one ; )
Minecraft Tutorial - "Blast Furnace Super Smelter"
My second design using hoppers and, dare I say, my favorite. The Blast Furnace is a compact furnace array that makes use of some clever redstone to use a whole lot less iron (hoppers) than other, similar designs floating around out there.
As a result, for only one hopper per furnace extra, the Blast Furnace automatically sorts/divides fuel into the system, as well as the ores.
By dividing the workload evenly between all of the furnaces in the array, the Blast Furnace is stupidly quick at smelting entire chests of ores.

Today, we follow up yesterday's episode with yet another build in spawn! This time a shop, as opposed to a community build.
After collecting a bunch of packed ice from the super rare packed ice biome out by my place, I put my master building skills to use to build... you guessed it ...a giant cube!
I know what you're thinking: "a cube in Minecraft; how terribly inventive!" Well stow your cynicism! This is no ordinary cube; it's... THE ICE CUBE!
...And it's diagonal, just for a little extra something special.Direct Connect 1.03 - The Cactoid777static7772015-05-22 | Welcome to episode three of my SMP LP/World Tour series, where you have the chance to participate - Direct Connect!
In today's episode, we FINALLY do some building in spawn... and what a building!
First thing's first, we build a community Blast Furnace to smelt up the crap-tons of glass needed for the actual project - and it'll also have a secondary use later.
With over a double-chest of glass, plus a bunch of green dye cooked up, I throw together a mammoth cactus farm, all while doing my first every 3rd person timelapse.
Why such a huge cactus farm? You'll just have to watch and find out!Static Plays - Minecraft 006: Burning Bridges777static7772015-04-26 | In today's episode we finally find a base location, and get an epic experience farm (mostly) up and running.
Between the Episode 5 Dragon killing special and this episode, I created an epic bow, pick, and sword, and used the pick to clear a ton of obsidian.
In today's episode we use that obsidian to scout for new locations and end up finding a pretty awesome base location - complete with swamp biome (= slimeballs) close to a new nether fortress.
I put those new found slimeballs and a ton of iron to use creating our first proper EXP farm for the series - a slime-based blaze grinder...
But that's not all - slap a Blast Furnace onto the bottom of that baby, and you'll be smelting for days!

In today's episode we already tackle our first project on the server!
After doing a bunch of exploring off camera (and punching my way out of a MOUNTAIN) I found the three Cave Spider Spawners I mentioned finding in the last episode.
Two of these are close enough to link, and so I throw together a 'basic' Dual Spider Exp Grinder.

VIDEOS Matt Exile Ep 8 "Pimp my Furnace!" - http://goo.gl/3r0VyHStatic Plays - Minecraft 005: ...The End?777static7772015-04-01 | Today's episode is a mini-special. A little exploring. A lot of action. And what an end!
Episode 5 - "...The End?" In today's episode we put the diamonds from last episode to good use in this "mini-special," crafting a shiny new set of enchanted diamond armour.
...And what better way to break it in than to kill an Ender Dragon!
Of course, to get to the end I first need to find a Nether Fortress - so we end up discovering two structures in the course of the one episode. Gotta love dimension-hopping!
This is the first time I've killed the Dragon and finished Minecraft (yup, seriously), and it didn't disappoint!
By the way, comment if you found the second "bonus" ; )

Decided to have a lot of fun with the editing this time round. It's a little silly, but I reckon it came up great!
For those of you familiar to redstone, this speed build will be all the tutorial you need.

Episode 4 - "Raw Deal" In today's episode we make use of the make-shift egg farm that we made in the previous episode and construct a machine of perpetual delicious chicken death!
On top of that, we get a pretty jarring reminder of the golden rule of Minecraft: never dig straight down! Luckily, we survived with levels in-tact, and were able to enchant the first really badass pick of the series.
A few more mini/low-tech farms round out the episode (a sheep paddock, cow paddock, and squid grinder)
So this was my first attempt at creating something with the hoppers, as I haven't really messed around with them too much. I've gotta say, I'm really pleased with how it came out.
For what it is, the design is extremely compact, resource friendly, quick and easy to build/modify, and has a lot of scope for extra layers of security.
After recording this, I had a quick look around to see if there were any similar designs floating around. There are a couple hopper combo locks here and there (linked a couple below) but nothing that even vaguely resembles this design.
Honestly, this is really more for fun than it is practical... but I've always loved combo locks in Minecraft.

Still kinda early days, and the projects are a little basic, but we're going to need strong foundations for epic creations.
Episode 3 - "Two birds; One stone" In today's episode we lay down the foundations for a chicken farm, to sort out the food issue, and a mine, to supply us with a metric butt-tonne of resources, and a semi-auto smelter to make'em melt.
I've also had a little bit of an explore around the area scoping out for a future location of our base (or, at least, temporary base...) and boy is there some epic scenery!
Although these projects are only very basic, they're bound to turbo-charge the series
Episode 2 - "A Diamond in the Rough" It's still early days (not exactly heaps of progress) but we get our first diamonds today, and a lot of them - which means enchanted tools to speed up projects.
Today is a bit of a talky episode with a bunch of caving and combat footage thrown in for good measure while I *attempt* some stream of consciousness commentary (and struggle to think of that phrase).
Thinking of releasing the third episode early to really get some progress going - check the FB page for details.

Episode 1 - "Real Deal" In today's episode we scope out the brand new world for the new Let's Play. True to form, I get pretty lucky with the world. We find a bunch of forest, some awesome mountains, and a decent sized village.
Where I've been, why I've been gone, and why I've been so quiet the last year is a bit of a long, downer of a story - but one I think I needed to cover, to get off my chest and get on with the show. So I distract you with renovations to the village while I get into the nitty gritty.
